re: keeping work and pleasure separate, this seems a bad idea, a recipie for misery. The people I know who enjoy their work (living their dreams) are happiest and better at what they do than many people who just have jobs. I was recently in a meeting with several other students (College of Santa Fe, gotta love it), some faculty and Sebastio Salgado, and he said to us that that had been his life, to have a dream, and then to go and do it. Not to say there's not a lot of legwork in between the dream and living it. me, personally, I don't think there's any other way to live. I'll probably die poor, but I'll have had one great ride.
